These almost look like the Starbles I picked up awhile back off the bay. Here’s a quote posted on RS from Scott Bradley:

There was a set of 12 of these Starbles sold through vending machines in theatres in Southern Ontario. Apparently, Southern Ontario was a test market, and the Star Wars Starbles never really took off, so they never saw wide distribution. You could also obtain a promotional kit/case that contained all 12 Starbles as well.

I also found this at actionfigureinsider.com plus they are listed on the archive.

I’m sure as heck not collecting these, just another way to bleed out another SW line me thinks.

I don't know what they were thinking with these. I have seen them at all the TRUs in my area and I think one store has sold one marble so far. It looks like the Ziro is the "limited" platinum one in the first wave. But $4 for a single marble, really? I would be surprised if more than two waves of these ever make it to stores.

Yeah, that ridiculous price tag is a real bummer because this really is a neat looking line. Maybe the manufacturer/retailers will realize that they aren't gonna sell a single marble at $4 each (they haven't so far) and they'll bring the price down. I'd really like that Jawa.
